How do I turn a PDF into an MP4 video?

Choose a PDF, pick 1280×720 or 1920×1080, pick 2, 3, 5 or 8 seconds per page, then click Create video. Each page becomes one still slide in the MP4, in page order.

No. A PDF chosen from your device is rendered with pdf.js and encoded with FFmpeg WebAssembly in this browser tab. The video engine downloads the first time you use it. The site itself still loads ordinary resources, analytics and ads.

How long will the video be?

Pages multiplied by seconds per page. A 12-page deck at 5 seconds per page makes a 60-second video. The longest possible video is 100 pages at 8 seconds, which is 13 minutes 20 seconds.

How are portrait pages handled?

Each page is scaled to fit inside the 16:9 frame without cropping, centered, and surrounded by white. A portrait A4 page in a 1920×1080 video fills about 764×1080 pixels, so the sides stay white.

Will small text be readable?

Pages are drawn at the size they appear in the frame, so text is as sharp as the frame allows. On a portrait page, body text in a 10 or 11 point font can be hard to read on a phone. Use 1920×1080 and landscape slides for text-heavy decks.

Up to 100 pages and 100 MB per PDF. Password-protected or damaged PDFs cannot be opened; save an unprotected copy first. Long documents take a while, so keep the tab open until the download appears.

Does the video have sound or transitions?

No. The MP4 is silent and each page cuts straight to the next. Add music or narration afterwards with the Add Audio to Video tool.

Which video format is produced?

An H.264 MP4 at 30 frames per second, with the index placed at the start of the file so it can begin playing while it loads. Most phones, browsers, video editors and upload forms accept this format.

Turn a PDF into a silent slideshow video

Some places accept a video but not a PDF: a looping screen in a shop window, a video slot on a course page, or an upload form that only takes MP4. This tool turns each PDF page into one still slide, in page order, and saves the result as an MP4. It does not animate pages, add transitions or add sound.

How to convert a PDF to video

Choose a PDF of up to 100 pages and 100 MB.
Pick a frame size. 1920×1080 is the default and keeps small text sharper. 1280×720 makes a smaller file.
Pick a time per page: 2, 3, 5 or 8 seconds. The default is 3 seconds.
Click Create video and keep the tab open. The counter shows each page as it is drawn, then the video is encoded and downloads as yourfile-video.mp4.

Worked example: a 12-page menu for a TV screen

A café has a 12-page landscape PDF menu and wants it on a TV by the counter. At 1920×1080 and 5 seconds per page, the video runs for 60 seconds. Many TVs and media players can repeat a file from a USB stick, so the menu can cycle all day. Check your player's repeat setting first. If guests need longer to read each page, choose 8 seconds, which makes a 96-second video.

Choose a time per page

Typical uses for each page time
Seconds per page	Good for	10-page PDF becomes
2	Photo pages and covers with almost no text	20 seconds
3	Slides with a short heading and an image	30 seconds
5	Slides with a few bullet points	50 seconds
8	Menus, price lists and text-heavy pages	80 seconds

How pages fit the frame

Each page is scaled to fit inside the 16:9 frame without cropping, then centered on white. Landscape slides exported from PowerPoint or Google Slides at 16:9 fill the whole frame. A portrait A4 page in a 1920×1080 video is about 764 pixels wide, and the rest of the width stays white. At 1280×720 the same page is about 509 pixels wide. Small print in a portrait document can be hard to read on a phone, so convert portrait documents to landscape slides first when the text matters.

What happens on your device

A PDF chosen from your device is drawn page by page with Mozilla's pdf.js, and the slides are encoded with FFmpeg WebAssembly in this browser tab. The PDF is not uploaded to ToolJiffy. The video engine downloads the first time you use it, so the first run takes longer. Long documents use more memory; if a 100-page PDF fails on a phone, split the PDF and convert each part on a computer.

The output is H.264 video at 30 frames per second in an MP4 file that can start playing before it has fully loaded. It has no audio track. Password-protected PDFs cannot be opened, so save an unprotected copy first.
